It wasn’t the first, but for more than 10 years, Kickstarter has been synonymous with crowdfunding. We’re excited to announce that CEO Everette Taylor will join us on the Hardware Stage, September 21, at TechCrunch Disrupt 2023.
In a session called “Crowdfunding the Future,” we’ll discuss Taylor’s vision for the company. Crowdfunding itself may be on the cusp of another resurgence, in the wake of a global supply-chain crisis. People are pushing to manufacture products locally, and that’s creating a lot of opportunities.
Taylor has also made a point of highlighting both the need to increase underrepresented makers and his vision of crowdsourcing as an accessible way for anyone with an idea to to bring their dream to fruition. We want to hear more about how he plans to do that in the (mostly) post-COVID, post-supply-change crunch world.
